Merrivale Circle

Stone Circle, Devon

An eleven-stone circle is a member of a group of several prehistoric
structures: two stone circles, an avenue, a double row, a single row, a large damaged
cist, standing stones and hut-circles. The stones are small, varying in height from 30cm
(1 foot) to 50cm (1 foot 6 inches). It is a flattened circle measuring 20.5m (67 feet 5
inches) E-W by 17.8m (58 feet 5 inches). A 3m (10-foot 4-inch) tall slender stone stands
at an azimuth of 182 degrees from the centre of the circle, suggesting an attempt for
cardinal-point alignment. The axis of the ring is 88 degrees - 268 degrees, a similar
suggested alignment.
